Glen Dempsey was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to possessing a firearm, ammunition and a silencer in suspicious circumstances. The items were found in a hidden compartment in a car parked at his Clondalkin home.

The court heard Dempsey said he was holding the gun because of a €20,000 drugs debt and threats. Judge Martin Nolan assessed his role as the lowest level of culpability and said his guilty pleas allowed the court to depart from the presumptive five-year minimum sentence.
